rohit-sharma-powers-india-to-8-0-over-pakistan-in-world-cup

Rohit Sharma’s scintillating 86-run performance propelled India to a resounding seven-wicket triumph over arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC World Cup 2023.

The match witnessed a sea of blue-clad supporters, with nearly 100,000 fans creating an electrifying atmosphere at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.

Pakistani batters started the innings strongly with Imam-ul-Haq smashing three boundaries to Mohammed Siraj in the second over.

However, despite early composure, negotiating the formidable Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, Pakistani openers eventually succumbed.

Abdullah Shafique scored 20, while Imam-ul-Haq departed after scoring 36.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan then steadied the ship, exhibiting mature gameplay much to the dismay of the Ahmedabad crowd. At 155 for two, Pakistan seemed poised for a substantial total.

However, India’s bowlers remained relentless, never allowing their rivals to gain a significant advantage.

The turning point arrived when a devilish low bounce ball dismissed Babar Azam’s off stump, unsettling Pakistan’s composure. Pakistan’s captain top-scored for the side with 50, his first half century against India in ODI cricket.

Kuldeep Yadav seized the opportunity, and induced panic in the Pakistani camp with two wickets in one over. The game-changing over saw Saud Shakeel falling victim to a cleverly executed delivery, while Iftikhar Ahmed suffered the misfortune of chopping one onto his stumps.

Bumrah, then returned and unleashed an unplayable off-cutter to dismiss Mohammad Rizwan, just one run shy of a half-century. Shadab Khan’s off stump was then toppled by a lightning-quick delivery from Bumrah.

It was not long before the tail was cleaned up by Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, limiting Pakistan to a mere 191.

With a target of 192, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill took displayed aggressive intent against Pakistan’s formidable pace attack. The duo amassed five fours in the first two overs, setting a blazing pace before Gill perished.

Virat Kohli came to bat with a loud roar from the Ahmedabad crowd and joined Rohit. While Kohli played his shots with precision, it was Rohit’s majestic display that stole the show. He marked his 300th ODI six with a colossal strike off Haris Rauf.

Although Kohli fell to a miscued shot off Hasan Ali, India faced no real pressure. Shreyas Iyer came out to bat and provided valuable support to Rohit. The Indian captain completed a scintillating half-century in just 36 balls during the partnership.

The crowd at Ahmedabad eagerly anticipated a century from Rohit, but it eluded him as Shaheen Afridi induced a miscue, sending the Indian captain back to the pavilion.

KL Rahul and Iyer then confidently steered India to victory, with Iyer sealing the deal by notching an unbeaten half-century and delivering the final blow—a crisp straight drive for four.

This shot served as the exclamation mark on a triumph that had been crafted during a frenetic ten-over period earlier.

Was Mahira Khan’s Wedding Any Different From Aiman Khan’s?

We’re nearing the annual wedding season with the year ending, giving overseas Pakistanis the opportunity to be a part of family weddings amid Christmas and New Year holidays.

With that said, we wonder what to expect from the weddings that lie ahead now that we’re seeing both extravagant celebrations with more than three bridal outfits and also those that made headlines for a more subtle, intimate celebration.

The question of whether to opt for a grand, ‘nearly a dozen bridal outfits’ wedding or a more modest and intimate affair is entirely a personal one. But we were really thanking our lucky stars when there was a nationwide shift towards simpler weddings.

Even when COVID-19 was no longer a primary force behind the transition, celebrities like Pakistani model Eman Suleman and Neha Taseer normalised the concept of elegant simplicity— unlike those 11 nuptials and nine outfits Aiman Khan made headlines with, making the line between middle class and elites appear wider.

Now, Mahira Khan’s wedding has been one hot topic that had us hooked for a month now and we’re not even sure if the hype is ending anytime soon. But it’s safe to say that her wedding is one of those star-studded nuptials that will add to the trends we’ve had over the years— if not change them completely.

With the two extremes mentioned above, let’s see if Mahira Khan’s wedding also falls into the same category as Aiman Khan.

The Details:

Dresses: We were able to spot 9 dresses that are not from drama shoots.
Makeup: Babar Zaheer and Adnan Ansari

Events: We were able to get a closer look from her Mayun(s), Mehendi, Dholki(s), Gaana Night and Nikah events as her wedding planner, Miradore Weddings, event designer, Aarij Hashimi, cinematographer, Izzah Shaheen Malik, and the Henna girl, Rabail Jahan Afroz, shared their work on Instagram.

Venue: Most of the major events were held at Pearl Continental Bhurban, including Gaana Night, Mehendi, Nikah.

And then there were some casual ones.

We thought we had left the never-ending grand nuptials behind us, but Mahira Khan’s wedding isn’t good news in that regard. We can only hope that people forget about her palace-esque wedding like a sweet dream.

Pakistan Vs India Match: Pakistani Artists Not Part Of The Ceremony

Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the 2023 Cricket World Cup showdown between India and Pakistan, especially the fortunate ticket holders for the October 14th clash at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Their excitement has been further amplified by the announcement that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has organized a pre-match spectacle.

BCCI Pre-Match Ceremony

On its official social media account, the BCCI shared the exciting news with fans that three renowned singers, Arijit Singh, Sukhwinder Singh, and Shankar Mahadevan, have been extended invitations to perform at the pre-match show on October 14. The board also revealed that the ‘Musical Odyssey’ is set to kick off at 12.30 pm IST.

Meanwhile, with not even a single Pakistani artist in the lineup, the hypocrisy of the Indians has reached an all-time high. The pre-match event which is specifically being held ahead of the Pakistan vs India match has failed to see any Pakistani artist in sight. Meanwhile, ‘X’ users have also highlighted this as a problem since there was no official ceremony for the World Cup event itself.

Concerns regarding the treatment of Pakistani artists became apparent when reports emerged that the BCCI had allegedly delayed the issuance of visas to Pakistani journalists, who were aiming to cover the significant cricket event.

The match is scheduled for a 2 pm IST start, with the toss occurring at 1.30 pm, as it will be a day-night event at the world’s largest cricket stadium.

Babar Khan Discusses Sana Khan’s Death For The First Time on Television

The tragic death of actress and model Sana Khan four years back shook the entire showbiz industry of Pakistan. Her untimely demise was heartbreaking as she had just started off her married life with beau Babar Khan.

The couple met a tragic car accident on National Highway where Babar Khan faced life-threatening injuries and Sana sadly lost her life. The actor Babar Khan later married Bisma Khan in 2015 soon after recovering from the accident.

The actor left showbiz and was seen for the first time on television on Geo Entertainment’s morning show with Shahista Lodhi. However, what went on during the broadcast caused viewers to raise their concerns on the insensitive questions Shahista was asking Babar.

The video clips of Sana and Babar’s wedding kept playing on the show, and what is more, there were photo frames of Sana Khan hanging on the morning show set.

Babar spoke about the depression he faced and the trauma he experienced after her death. He also spoke about the suicide attempt he made due to the severe depression he suffered from.

The constant reminders Shahista gave to Babar throughout the show were uncalled for and seemed quite insensitive keeping the situation in mind.

Babar Khan’s family that included his mother, second wife, and two kids joined the show and shared their side of the traumatic experience and how the family recovered later on.

What irked viewers the most is the discussion of the late Sana Khan in front of Bisma Khan who is now Babar’s second wife.

Shahista then asked Bisma how she accepted the marriage to Babar Khan and pinpointed the various issues she must have experienced during the early days of her wedding. 

The morning show host also dared to ask Babar whether he had expressed love for his second wife, in her presence. It must have made her uncomfortable and put her in an awkward spot.

We expected Shahista to show a little compassion, knowing this was the first time the family had appeared on a live television show since the traumatic experience.

Google’s AI-Powered Search Can Now Generate Images

Source: Engadget

In a significant development, Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) is introducing new and powerful tools that allow users to create images and written drafts directly from search queries. This innovation follows Microsoft’s March release of image generation capabilities through Bing Chat, which is powered by OpenAI’s DALL-E model.

How it Works

For those who have opted into Google’s Search Labs program, accessing these new features is quite simple. Users can input their search query into the Google search bar as they normally would. Once the query is entered, the SGE will utilize the Imagen family of AI models to generate a series of images based on the query. Users can then select from these generated images. The process is user-friendly and promises to add a new dimension to the search experience.

Image Generation

To demonstrate the image generation feature, Google provided a GIF showcasing the tool in action. In the example, a query for “draw an image of a capybara wearing a chef’s hat and cooking breakfast” produced a whimsical image. Importantly, users can also refine their queries to influence the images generated, adding an element of personalization and creativity to the process.

Integration with Google Images

The integration of AI-generated images extends to Google Images, where users may come across a prompt encouraging them to generate images based on their query. These images will be conveniently displayed in a sidebar, streamlining the image search experience.

Responsible Use and Limitations

In a blog post, Hema Budaraju from Google emphasized the company’s commitment to responsible image generation. The tool will not create images that violate Google’s prohibited use policy for generative AI. This policy aims to prevent misuse, such as generating inappropriate or offensive content.

Furthermore, every image generated through SGE will include metadata labels and embedded watermarking to indicate that they were created by AI. During the initial stage, Google is restricting the tool from generating photorealistic faces or any content involving notable individuals. While Google hasn’t definitively confirmed whether these restrictions will evolve in the future, they are clearly taking a cautious approach to avoid potential misuse.

Additionally, image generation will be limited to users aged 18 or older, ensuring responsible and age-appropriate usage.

Generating Written Drafts

In addition to image generation, Google is expanding the capabilities of SGE to include the creation of written drafts directly from the search bar. Users can input their query, and Google will generate a draft with options for length and tone. These drafts can then be exported to Google Docs or Gmail, streamlining the content creation process.

Google’s addition of image and draft generation tools to its Search Generative Experience represents a significant step forward in enhancing the search and content creation experience for its users. While the tool continues to evolve, these features offer new and exciting possibilities for users seeking more creative and efficient ways to interact with search results.

Junaid Safdar Confirms Divorce After Three Years Of Marriage

Junaid Safdar, grandson of former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Nawaz Shareef, has confirmed the news of divorce from Ayesha Saif.

“News about my divorce is true,” Safdar said in an Instagram story.

“I hope with this decision we find our peace In Shaa Allah. I will speak no further on this matter. I wish her well,” Junaid added.

Junaid removed all his pictures with his former spouse shortly after the announcement.

The news comes more than two years after Junaid Safdar exchanged vows with Ayesha Saif, the daughter of Saif ur Rehman Khan, the former head of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and a multi-millionaire businessman based in Qatar with business interests in Pakistan, Qatar, and Middle Eastern countries.

The couple tied the knot in August 2021, with their wedding ceremonies held in London and Pakistan, since PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif was in the British capital in self-exile.

The couple stayed away from the media spotlight during their time together.

The announcement of Junaid Safdar’s divorce coincides with Nawaz Sharif’s departure from London for Saudi Arabia, where he will be performing Umrah. The pilgrimage will be followed by a return to Pakistan next week on October 21. Nawaz will be returning to Pakistan after spending four years in self-exile.

A little more about Junaid Safdar’s former spouse:

Ayesha Saif, born and raised in Qatar, received her primary and secondary education at British schools, passing O and A levels with distinction. She moved to London where she enrolled at the renowned University College London (UCL) and graduated with a BEng in Civil Engineering.

She was a Director at Redco International, a prominent industrial and contracting group that has been operating in Qatar since 1981, with 20,000 employees and engineers onboard.

How it all happened:

The couple’s nikkah took place at Lanesborough Hotel, situated on Hyde Park Corner in Knightsbridge. The ceremony was attended by Junaid Safdar’s grandfather, with other notable attendees, including his uncle Hussain Nawaz, PML-N party member and former finance minister Ishaq Dar, among others.

The groom’s parents, Maryam Nawaz and Muhammad Safdar, were unable to attend the wedding ceremony due to their names being on the Exit Control List (ECL). Maryam Nawaz had previously informed about her absence through a tweet earlier that month. However, they were present during the ceremony through a video call, and Maryam Nawaz shared pictures of the event on her Twitter account, extending her blessings to the couple.

Furthermore, in December of the same year, an extravagant wedding reception lasting nearly a week was held in Islamabad, marking another celebration of Junaid and Ayesha’s union.

Key Battles To Watch In India-Pakistan World Cup Showdown

key-battles-to-watch-in-india-pakistan-world-cup-showdown

In the highly anticipated World Cup 2023 clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, several key matchups could play a crucial role in determining the outcome.

Let’s delve into four pivotal battles that are set to unfold on the grand stage of the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Rohit Sharma vs Shaheen Shah Afridi

India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, has faced challenges from Shaheen Shah Afridi’s menacing left-arm pace in recent encounters. Shaheen got the better of Rohit during their Asia Cup face-off, exploiting the opener’s vulnerability to lack of footwork. The rivalry ignited at the 2021 T20 World Cup, where Shaheen dismissed Rohit for a duck in the opening over, displaying his lethal combination of speed and swing. Rohit, however, returned with caution in their subsequent meeting in Colombo, showcasing resilience while still managing to keep the bowler on his toes.

Virat Kohli vs Haris Rauf

A high-stakes encounter between India and Pakistan unfolded when Virat Kohli squared off against Haris Rauf during a tense chase at the T20 World Cup in Melbourne last year. With India needing 31 runs off the last 18 balls, Kohli exhibited nerves of steel, smashing Rauf for two crucial sixes, sending the MCG crowd into a frenzy. The first six was a powerful straight drive, while the next was a fine-leg flick, propelling India towards victory. This face-off promises another riveting showdown in Ahmedabad.

Babar Azam vs Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah got a taste of Babar Azam’s batting prowess during the 2021 T20 World Cup in the UAE. Azam took on the Indian attack, including the yorker maestro Bumrah, guiding Pakistan to an emphatic 10-wicket win in Dubai. However, two years later, Bumrah and company displayed their growth, dismissing Pakistan for 128 in a commanding 228-run triumph in an Asia Cup Super Four clash. Bumrah’s knack for beating Azam’s bat adds an intriguing layer to this contest.

Iftikhar Ahmed vs Kuldeep Yadav

Iftikhar Ahmed, a versatile middle-order batsman, demonstrated his ability to anchor or attack during the Asia Cup. However, India’s spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, thwarted Iftikhar’s innings with a sharp caught-and-bowled effort. Kuldeep’s left-arm wrist spin proved formidable, securing an impressive 5-25 in that match, propelling India to a comprehensive 228-run victory. Iftikhar’s role on Saturday will be crucial in handling the spinners and maintaining an aggressive scoring rate in the middle overs.

FIFA Bars Otis Khan From Pakistan’s World Cup 2026 Qualifier

fifa-bars-otis-khan-from-pakistans-world-cup-qualifier

FIFA has declared Pakistan’s England-born forward, Otis Khan, ineligible to participate in the first leg of Pakistan’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Cambodia.

This decision comes even though Khan possesses a valid Pakistani passport. Khan’s eligibility was primarily based on his paternal grandfather, Kanwar Jamil Mohammed Khan, who was born in Delhi but later migrated to Pakistan after the partition in 1947, eventually settling in Manchester.

Otis Khan, a promising winger who recently made a move from Leyton Orient to Grimsby, had high hopes of donning the Pakistani jersey in the crucial match against Cambodia on Thursday.

However, while he was being interviewed by FIFA’s website to preview the game, Khan received a notification of his ineligibility this week.

The news left him understandably disheartened, and he expressed his feelings through a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

PFF’s response to the ineligibility of Otis Khan

The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) promptly released a statement addressing the issue. They expressed their hope for a positive resolution and clarified the situation.

According to the PFF, FIFA’s decision regarding Khan’s eligibility is still pending. They further emphasized their active collaboration with FIFA to comprehensively address the matter.

The statement underscored Otis Khan’s significance as a key player in the team and commended his distinguished representation of Pakistan.

It’s worth noting that as per the Pakistani government, individuals who migrated from territories in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent before the commencement of the Pakistan Citizenship Act, 1951, are granted citizenship in Pakistan.

Notably, the first leg between Pakistan and Cambodia concluded in a goalless draw. This result marks the end of Pakistan’s 12-match losing streak, bringing a glimmer of hope to the team and its fans. The second leg, set to be played in Islamabad on October 17, holds great anticipation as Pakistan steps onto their home ground for the first time in competitive fixtures since 2011.

Pakistani sports presenter, Zainab Abbas, recently commented on her departure from India, prompted by a complaint about her past statements.

Zainab Abbas was in India for the World Cup 2023 but left on October 9, citing personal reasons sparking a debate on social media.

Amidst all the noise about her being deported, she opened up on her official X (formerly Twitter) account with a lengthy post.

Zainab Abbas clarified that she wasn’t asked to leave or deported, but felt intimidated by the online reaction. She went on to apologize for any hurt caused by her previous posts and affirmed they do not represent her current values. Additionally, she thanked those who showed concern during this period.

Zainab reported on Pakistan’s match against the Netherlands on October 6 in Hyderabad, India, and was due to cover other Pakistan fixtures as well. However, after an Indian lawyer filed a complaint about her old tweets, she faced substantial backlash on social media, leading to an early return.

In response to the situation, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch criticized New Delhi for the unnecessary controversy surrounding Abbas.

“The case against Zainab Abbas on unnecessary tweets is not the right action. Zainab is being dragged into an unjustified case,” said the spokesperson in response to a question during her weekly press briefing.

She emphasized that as the host of the World Cup, India bears the responsibility of providing a secure environment for all teams involved.
